There is a story he said where Marvel wanted it to be between 6-9 issues.

When he was starting his "Big Time" Amazing Spider-Man run, he was building up to Superior Spider-Man.

Marvel wanted a big event in the Spider-Man books, and Slott mentioned Ends of the Earth, which they liked. During the conversation, he told his higher-ups what it was leading up to. And the higherups thought that "Doctor Octopus & Spider-Man switch bodies" is a better hook for an event than "Spider-Man & the Avengers team up against the Sinister Six."

Slott didn't think it would work, since he hadn't finished setting up the story at that point, and he had bigger plans for it. So Marvel gave him a weekend to come up with a new hook for an event storyline. And so was born "Spider-Island."

That might be what you're thinking of.

Another change in the story was that Spider-Verse was supposed to be the penultimate arc, with SpOck thinking he was in charge and not realizing a future version of Peter Parker was in charge (this would've led to Peter's return.) Marvel thought the story made more sense with Peter Parker as the lead, so they wanted to wait a year, which meant Slott had to come up with a replacement story. So he brought back Spider-Man 2099.
